Last week




This is the last week. We have nothing to do but beach and poollife, playing in the sun, eating good food and going for small excursions in the three wheel motorbike (=saleng).

We have had ice cream desserts at the Coffe@Train-café. They have some fun magazine, thai and others to browse. I found this medical add there. I don't know what is wrong with this man, can you figure it out? But several pairs of scissors seem to be needed.







We have visited former "Good Morning Sang Arun", my absolute favorite place. It used to be the place that God forgotten. Now turned into "Mumsa", by a Hua Hin-Swede who wanted something else than the traffic up there. The bike riksha is still there, as tuk-tuk and the wooden porched restaurant. It has been renewed though, something that was probably not done "single-handed". The new owners had a cat that had found the right spot.

We drove on to Sang Arun fishing village that now has a "tourist information" sign, which I think means that they speak English. There was a new a restaurant/hostel with some small rentals. Further down the gravel road we stepped on to a luxurious sales office for new housing district (for sale now). It is obvious that this area understands that tourism is on it's way. While at the outlet of the stream, Sten went straight to play in a little sail boat and Axel jumped down on the sand.

Guess it was not roofed and topped with electrical lights when in the sea...



Hey ho!

Boats.





 Axel found something! 






And so did I. Two giant shells! Mine was slightly bigger, and measures around 20 cm. We are not sure, but do not dare taking these home with us. Our parade of shells.




Fishing at Jacks is another tradition that we have. Mathias buys shrimp, squid or corn at the market and heads for the pier with Axel. While they are at it, Sten and I wait at the restaurants. This time a friend of Axels came out on the pier so Sten and I followed them out just to see what it was like. Full of crayfish cages this time. 

The fisherman.




The boys. Axel actually caught fish. A unedible one it seemed.


We have been going to the market as usual. Sten wasted his last money on a wallet, just because his brother bought one. (Only thing is, his brother got extra because of his birthday, so his is not empty.)

Final days on Koh Tao

After the second birthday cake of the year, the one for my birthday, we had no plans. We could go to Bangkok or south to Hua Hin or Huay Yang. Mathias wanted to take Axel diving or snorkeling, so we decided to go to Koh Tao. Could be fun showing the kids where mom and dad had been so many times. Took an early ferry Friday, a day with no wind (1m/s). The Lompraya pier in Chumpon Since decision was made quite hastily, we had an interesting journey to Chumpon. First one taxi to Huay Yang where we planned to have dinner at Maew's, but Maew's was closed. She was there since they have a shop which was open.  However, they don't serve food. She has lost a lot of weight and seem to be really sick, so I guess that is why. We had to eat so we went on to "Blå stolarna". A little tricky since they don't speak much English. Mathias got a ride with the nearby hairdresser back to Maew's to wait for the taxi driver. I ate with the kids in the meantime. No taxi came ...

Happy New Year 2015!

Today was Axels 7th birthday! I can't believe how much he has grown. He sure isn't that little boy anymore.  Last night we went to Kaew's restaurant for New Year's Party. Sten fell asleep at 8.30. We did some more drinks and desserts and headed back home one hour later. The food was good and we could have had 5 free drinks on the ticket but we did not manage that, as you probably understand. Kaew did not have as big a party as last year. Maybe people choose the beach (Jack's, Nong Pu's or some new place this year?) Last year it was crowded.  She had the girls doing traditional thai dancing like last year, very impressive and very cute. I will upload picture later. ( I still haven't found a way of charging my camera's battery so I am relying on Axel and Mathias's photos whenever I get a hold of them. Took one with the tablet though, of my sweet boys! Today we went to Black Mountain Water Park like previous years to celebrate Axel's birth...
